Fresh from His European Tour, SA Comedian Dalin Oliver is Back and Ready to Make the Country Laugh!

Award-winning South African comedian Dalin Oliver returns home after a whirlwind 6-country, 13-city tour across Europe and the UK. Now, he's gearing up to bring the laughs to audiences nationwide with his latest one-man show, 90 Day Comedian.

A Nationwide Comedy Tour

Hot off the international comedy circuit, Oliver will make stops in Johannesburg, Durban, Paarl, East London, Gqeberha, and Cape Town from 1 October to 30 November 2024. Get ready for a 75-minute laughter-filled journey that explores identity, cultural politics, and what it means to be proudly South African in a world that knows little about the nation’s rich diversity and history.

His unique perspective and comedic charm have earned him accolades, including the Fringe World Festival’s Best Weekly Comedy Show Award (Perth, Australia, 2024) and a Bronze Standard Bank Ovation Award at the National Arts Festival (Makhanda, South Africa, 2024). 90 Day Comedian is a culmination of Oliver’s international experiences over the past year, spanning performances in 7 countries and 18 cities, making this a can’t-miss tour!

Dalin Oliver on His Comedy Journey

Reflecting on the show's development, Oliver shares,
"The creative process for 90 Day Comedian started in 2023 when I spent two months performing across Australia. During that period, I was exposed to different cultures, new places, and how different audiences react to comedy. Performing in 18 cities and 7 countries over the past year has really shaped the show."

Speaking about his European tour, Oliver adds,
"It was a dream come true, and having my wife with me made it even more special. It was incredible to travel together, share my comedy, and represent South Africa. The reception abroad was amazing, but there's nothing like performing for South Africans."
